Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 9yXR0xCC. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Lead poisoning in children has been associated with reduced intelligence, shortened memory, slowed reaction times, poor hand-eye coordination, and antisocial behavior. The cost to society includes not only medical treatment and special education but also higher high-school drop-out rates, which are associated with crime and low earning potential. |
